The general hotel and room decor was a bit tired and in need of a refresh. The hotel is also situated on a pedestrianized street, so it's hard to get close to it with luggage from a car.

We have no complaints. The hotel is in the middle of town with numerous places to eat, things to do, and even the Corner Market grocery store. It is only a couple of blocks from Bus Stop #6.
